  Trail Description

Access to this notable bog provides views from boardwalks floating on a mat of tundra like vegetation.  An entrance sign and a kiosk with descriptions of the flora and fauna that might be seen from the trail flank the walkway. Brochures are available here and at the kiosk that include a map and describe a self-guided nature trail. The Philbrick-Cricenti Bog Trail system starts at the parking area (P) on the south side of Newport Road opposite the entrance to the Great Pines development and .3 miles west of the Hannaford Supermarket.  The trail system has boardwalks that span wet areas in the bog.  Care should be taken while traversing the boardwalks. Three loop trails comprise the parts of the system that venture onto the bog. PLEASE STAY ON THE BOARDWALK WHEN WALKING THROUGH THE BOG. The total length of the three loops plus the access trail (two way) is less than one mile.
